About A Country Doctor
"A Country Doctor" is a short story written in 1917 by Franz Kafka. It "first appeared in Kurt Wolff's 1918 anthology Die Neue Dichtung and then in early 1920 as the title piece in Kafka's second collection of stories". In the story, a country doctor makes an emergency visit to a sick patient on a winter night. The doctor faces absurd, surreal predicaments that pull him along and finally doom him.
